Using in an application

Create a Quantel Gateway Client instance and initialize it to connect to to the gateway.

const quantelClient = new QuantelGateway()
await quantelCient.init(
	'quantel.gateway.url:port',

If the serverID is not known, before calling init() request the details of all servers:
